The man behind Earth Day Texas stops by the Old Monk to chat with D Magazine's Tim and Zac about what it means to be an environmentally-conscious Republican, which Olympic sport he thinks he could master if he set his mind to it, and why he has hopes of winning over Texas' climate-change-denying lieutenant governor: "Dan Patrick's not going to be the same after this Earth Day. ... He's a smart guy. Part of his mind is open, and he's going to go home with some new ideas."

Guest: Tara NieuwesteegTheme music: Shibboleth's "The Bavarian," from the 2008 album Experiment in Error (Idol Records)

D Magazine's charming Dallas bar columnist joins the boys to talk about smoking cigarettes in "sports cafés," Amar'e Stoudemire's sartorial tendencies, why Ottawa is a lousy town, and whether a man should be allowed to wear Crocs-brand sneakers in public. Special thanks to our sponsor, the Old Monk.
